Abstract
A cover arrangement is disclosed for an air bag which is arranged in a motor vehicle and is automatically inflated to form an impact cushion for an occupant in the event of an accident. The cover arrangement includes a covering protecting the air bag being torn open at intended tearing lines. Provision is made for the covering to be constructed as a support of a membrane switch arrangement which, for its safety during inflation of the air bag and during the tearing open of the covering thus caused, is connected to a cladding of the covering made of leather or similar material so as to be resistant to tearing.
